Figured I'd share this, it's a chaplet me and a member of my prayer group came up with awhile back, it's prayed on the Chaplet of the Little Crown, or the Chaplet of the Immaculate Conception, I pray it often: Chaplet of Our Lady, Queen of the Family Beginning Prayers (For self) Apostles’ Creed Sub Tuum Praesidium Prayer to Obtain Final Perseverance Eternal Father, I humbly adore and thank Thee for having created me, and for having redeemed me by means of Jesus Christ. I thank Thee for having made me a Christian by giving me the true faith, and by adopting me for Thy child in holy Baptism. I thank Thee for having given me time for repentance after my many sins, and for having, as I hope, pardoned all my offenses against Thee. O Infinite Goodness! I thank Thee also for having preserved me from falling again as often as I should have done if Thou hadst not held me up and saved me. But my enemies do not cease to fight against me, nor will they until death, that they may again have me for their slave; If Thou dost not keep and help me continually by Thine assistance, I shall be wretched enough to lose Thy grace anew. I therefore pray Thee, for the love of Jesus Christ, to grant me holy perseverance till death. Thy Son Jesus has promised that Thou wilt grant us whatever we ask for in His name. By the merits, then of Jesus Christ, I beg of Thee for myself, and for all those who are in Thy grace, the grace of never more being separated from Thy love, but that we may always love Thee in this life and in the next. Mary, Mother of God, pray to Jesus for me. Act of Charity O Lord God, I love you above all things and I love my neighbor for your sake because you are the highest, infinite and perfect good, worthy of all my love. In this love I intend to live and die. Amen. First “Decade:” For Parents & Siblings Our Father… Hail Mary 4x Glory Be Jesus. Meek and Humble of Heart, make my heart like unto Thine! O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to Thee! O my Jesus… Jesus, Mary & Joseph, help us all! Second “Decade:” For [Future] Spouse Our Father… Hail Mary 4x Glory Be Jesus. Meek and Humble of Heart, make my heart like unto Thine! O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to Thee! O my Jesus… Jesus, Mary & Joseph, help us all! Third “Decade:” For [Future] Children Our Father… Hail Mary 4x Glory Be Jesus. Meek and Humble of Heart, make my heart like unto Thine!

Concluding Prayers St. Gertrude’s prayer for the souls in purgatory (For Ancestors in Purgatory) Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the masses said throughout the world today, for all the holy souls in purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home and within my family. Amen. Hail Holy Queen Ave Maris Stella Prayer to the Holy Family Jesus, Mary and Joseph, in you we contemplate the splendour of true love; to you we turn with trust. Holy Family of Nazareth, grant that our families too may be places of communion and prayer, authentic schools of the Gospel and small domestic churches. Holy Family of Nazareth, may families never again experience violence, rejection and division; may all who have been hurt or scandalized find ready comfort and healing. Holy Family of Nazareth, make us once more mindful of the sacredness and inviolability of the family, and its beauty in God’s plan. Jesus, Mary and Joseph, Graciously hear our prayer. Amen. Memorare for Descendants living in the time of the antichrist
